The Bundestag has passed the Maternity Protection Adjustment Act, which grants women maternity protection for the first time after a miscarriage from the 13th week of pregnancy. The staggered protection is an important step forward, but is not enough.
\n\ud83d\udccc What is changing:
\n\u2714\ufe0f Two to eight weeks of protection depending on the week of pregnancy
\n\u2714\ufe0f No more sick leave requirement
\n\u2714\ufe0f Protection against dismissal during the maternity protection period
\n\u2714\ufe0f Extension of maternity protection to female civil servants, soldiers and self-employed persons with statutory insurance
\n\u274c But large gaps remain:
\n\ud83d\udd34 No maternity protection for self-employed people with private insurance - they remain without financial protection.
\n\ud83d\udd34 Why staggered periods? Every miscarriage means a serious physical and emotional break - so why different protection periods?
\n\ud83d\udd34 Structural inequality remains: Maternity protection continues to protect only parts of society and leaves out many of those affected.
\n\ud83d\udce2 Our demand: Comprehensive and fair maternity protection for all - regardless of employment status or week of pregnancy!
\nOn May 10, 2025, we will stand in front of the Brandenburg Gate - for real equality and protection for all mothers!
\n\u2b55\ufe0f 100,000 mothers | May 10, 2025 | Brandenburg Gate
\n\u2764\ufe0f Be part of it!
